Are you the type of freelance writer who is inspired by what you see while working?
I’ve always loved being surrounded by things that keep me inspired and keep my muse entertained. I find that, when these things surround me my workday is more productive. Here are some examples:
· Pretty notebooks: yes, this is girlie and won’t do much for the “manly” freelance writers reading this blog. Remember, pretty can also mean appealing to those who want something that compliments their personality, the room’s décor, or their personal tastes.
· Pretty pens: again, this is a girlie thing and I’m okay with that. These pens can range from something you like the look of, the feel of, and the way it writes. I like a gel pen that writes smoothly, yet creates bold handwriting on the page.
If you’re using “bland” supplies that just aren’t doing it for you, consider changing things up. Supplies don’t have to cost you an arm and a leg in order to look or function the way you’re dreaming of in your office or workspace. Check out the clearance areas of the craft store, office supply stores, drug stores, and big box stores – they’re brimming with back-to-school items they’re trying to unload in order to get ready for the new season!

My office is insanely modern and entirely gray. That is how a good working office should be.
Not really.
I actually agree.
Even new software on the computer, my new kick ass phone, that sweet pen I like to proofread with, my in and out tray's were cool - now I cant see them from the piles of paper on each...

My favorite-est most favorite proofreading pen ran out of ink and I'm still on the hunt for a replacement . . . the ink was perfect. I know - strange, but true.

Pretty pens and notebooks are wonderful. I won't even use an ugly notebook for my poetry. I just won't.
I love how you put quotation marks around organizational. I love those things too... I'm just not good at using them for their actual purpose.
